NEW CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

The new building of the MayHower Con-
gregational church on Fairview avenue, be-
tween Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets, will
be opened for services next Sabbath, June
10Th. Sabbath school at 3 p. M; preaching
service at S pm.
The church building is neat and tasteful
structure of semi-gothic design of red brick,
light stone trimmings, and vestibule tower
with belfry. The auditorium is almost
square and so arranged as to make all space
available for seats. The finishing is in light
hard woods, giving a cheerful impression as
one stands under the open rafters with the
subdued color from the stained glass win
dows and the dark walnut organ presenting
fine contrast, the whole effect is pleasing
and harmonious.
The trustees and building COMMITTEES. de-
serve praise for their earnest efforts in plan
ing the church, and the contributors, many
of whom are not members of any church,
seemed gifted with liberality akin to that
which moved the contributors to the ancient
Tabernacle.
The erection of this church supplies long
and much felt need in this part of our city.
The distance from the central churches has
restrained many families from their church
ordinances and Sabbath schools. A most
cordial invitation is extended to all to wor-
ship in this church. Sabbath school will be-
gin next Sabbath at 800 p m. Preaching
services every Sabbath at 500 p. m. by the
Rev. Thos. W. Minis, recently from Ando-
yer Mass

The monster alligator proved big draw
ing at the 5000 last evening. 1t is truly

gatorship. The domestic drama of Lost in
London was given in the auditorium hall
MUSEUM.
Uncle Rastus and his mule drew good
sized crowd before the Museum last evening,
many of whom went in and passed very
pleasant hour in the old standby
THE KQUEscURRIcULUM
The entertainment furnished by W. c.
Coup and his band of trained bronchoes, Pro-
lessor Moore's trained dogs, Messrs. Kennedy
and Stanley, the musical wonders, and the
other attractions is worthy the patronage of
both young and old. Theatre-goers Of this
city have never had more value received for
their money than is rendered them by this
combination of attractions The perfection
and precision manifested by the horses in al
the difficult and wonderful feats per
formed, more than illustrates the efficacy Of
kindness in all things. One cannot witness
the wonderful performance of the horses and
dogs without being impressed with the al
| most human intelligence manifest in all theil
actions.

A BLAZE

Last night at 1918 the fire alarm was
turned in through the A. D. T. Office by City
Marshal Cairnes 1t was found to be in the
paint shop of E. P. Barnes, in one Of the
small buildings on north Main, opposite the
Occidental The flames spread rapidly and
was soon raging in the corpen1er shop of Mr..
Bayle, who occupied part of the building.
Mr. Dolbee being near by, was one of the
first upon the scene of the confagration, and
valiantly went to work saving the tools and
machinery in the shop of Weeks, just
south of the burning building
The fire companies shortly afterwards ar
rived and he was rewarded with complete
ducking. Both No. l and 2 turned
their hose upon the flames and did noble
work. The fire however, had completely de-
stroyed the building in which it started, and
although Weeks carpenter shops on the
south, and Briggs cigar stand on the north
were ignited, yet they were saved, though
thoroughly drenched with water. The
building destroyed was occupied by the
paint shop of Mr.. Barnes, the carpenter shop
of Mr.. Bayle, by shoemaker who
had a bench in trent of the paint
shop, and stone mason who lived in the
rear.
Mr. Barnes places his loss at about 5000
insured for $500. Mr.. Bayle's loss is as
great as he loses all his tools; the shoe
maker also loses all his tools and stock.
Mr. Barnes had but recently opened shop
in this city. He was burned out once before
at his former place Of business, Willoughby
O., losing there about $4,000. He think:
that he is certainly a victim OF
misfortune; for no sooner had he got fairly
settled down to business here than again
everything he has is Tapped up by the flames
The origin of the fire is unknown. Mr.
Barns says that when he left the shop al
about $50 everything was safe and no fire
anywhere about the building.
